How to read mail messages saved in a folder in explorer (a .msg file) as uipath mail objects

[SanchoPanza]

I am familiar with the get outlook messages activity but I can’t read .msg files (eg. C:\Desktop\mail1.msg) as mail messages in UiPath. My final objective is to extract information such as “from”, “subject” etc.

Thanks!

Hi @SanchoPanza,

Refer this post,

Read a .msg file and save attachement

This simple vbs should work fine, you could even pass the arguments in the Start Process activity. Dim OlApp Dim Eml Dim Arg Set Arg = WScript.Arguments Dim File File = Arg(0) Set OlApp = CreateObject(“Outlook.Application”) Set Eml = OlApp.CreateItemFromTemplate(File) Download(Eml) Sub Download(objEml) For Each Attch In objEml.Attachments Attch.SaveAsFile "C:\temp\" & Attch.FileName Next End Sub [image]
